Get over it Pete. I've stated over and over that my next boat will be an F16, so while I don't currently have the vested interest of many posters here, to a certain extent it is my business. I really don't understand your hostility to my comment.

The existance of the F16 falcon means you'll find it difficult to protect the F16 name (Formula 16 would be easier) But from the sailing world's point of view the best protection would be gained by becoming an ISAF recognised class.
